The Corrected Level Range

Use 40-45 when planning Krol'dok Stronghold. Blizzard community manager Kaivax's September 15 clarification replaces an incorrect range circulated after BlizzCon. The same post places The Drowned City at 35-40 and Alcaz Prison at 48-53, putting the Stronghold between those two new dungeons. The Shaper's Terrace comes later, at 58-60.Planned, first-party, in the future tenseSource: Blizzard forums: Krol'dok Stronghold, post 1, correction and dungeon table, checked Oct 3, 2026.

Those are intended launch brackets. They do not specify the minimum level allowed through an entrance, a required key, or an optimal group level. The dungeon list lets you compare the wider progression.

Where Krol'dok Stronghold Fits in Riverglades

The installed beta client's area record names Krol'dok Stronghold and places its exterior under Riverglades. Riverglades belongs to the Eastern Kingdoms. That is useful regional orientation, but it does not locate a dungeon portal.Reported, press or datamine, not confirmedSource: Beta client geography, build 1.60.1.70205, AreaTable 17780 to parent 16591, Map 0, checked Oct 3, 2026.

Riverglades's world map art, read from the WoW Forever beta client files (build 1.60.1.70058). This is regional map art, not a marked dungeon entrance.

Blizzard describes Riverglades as a frontier of rivers, trade routes, struggling communities, and old grudges, with quests spanning much of the mid-30s to mid-40s journey. That announced leveling band overlaps the Stronghold's 40-45 bracket. The Riverglades guide covers the region's travel and story context.Planned, first-party, in the future tenseSource: What's Next panel recap, New Places to Explore, Riverglades paragraph, checked Oct 3, 2026.

Planning the Levels Around a Run

Use Riverglades as regional context when choosing questing stops in your 40s, and keep the dungeon bracket separate from the route to its entrance. Compare the leveling-zone reference before committing to travel or a group schedule.

For questing guidance between runs, start with RestedXP, then Zygor; the RestedXP and Zygor comparison helps you choose a guide. These product references do not verify a Krol'dok dungeon walkthrough.

Not Announced or Unresolved

The sources checked here do not establish an actionable entrance route, present dungeon access, encounter order, dungeon quests, or drops. An exterior area record is insufficient to fill those gaps.
